This rings completely hollow for me. A friend is calling it Ron Paul's Hostage video. Here is his response posted on the Daily Paul:
This video had he same creepy vibe as a prisoner of war video where the prisoner is forced to read the script of his captors. The fake cityscape behind him only added to the effect. I fear our hero has been gotten to.
The world will end not with a bang....
...but with a whimper.
If the Ron Paul campaign was our world, this tepid message from a fake cityscape located somewhere in the (official campaign's) State of Denial just might be the whimper. Either RP has been gotten to, has compromised himself, or is captive in Jesse Benton/Tyrgve Olson's unreality bubble
Then this in IM to me:
Mark: I think they got to him...Bernanke called him for breakfast and explained just what would go down if he persisted and he broke...and now he is a broken man, the shadow of his former self
Mark: And he knows he betrayed us all and can barely stand to talk to us, So deep is his guilt, he can barely look in the camera
Mark: Something dark and ugly went down at that FED breakfast
One promising idea for an Obama strategy is to arrange for someone (probably several people) to funnel considerable sums of money to Ron Paul to subsidize his third party run; then he would siphon off votes from Romney and Obama would win with a plurality if not a majority.
Subsidizing third parties to cripple the principal opponent is not new. Back in 1984, when Reagan was running for re-election, the Republicans -- who had so much campaign money they could have burned it in the White House furnace all winter -- funneled money (very carefully) to Jesse Jackson via Louis Farrakhan. Jackson was so hungry for campaign money that he kept his tongue 'way up Farrakhan's lower torso, and somehow refused to ask howcome Farrakhan could come up with all this campaign money when Farrakhan's followers had trouble paying their rent and when Farrakhan usually kept any loose money for himself. Farrakhan, of course, was delighted to have such a prominent leader of the black community (a Reverend no less) sucking up to him so conspicuously. But being joined, ass-to-face, this way meant that Farrakhan felt free to relieve himself of his usual outrageous anti-white, anti-semitic, even anti-American, opinions and Jesse Jackson didn't dare say boo. Everytime Farrakhan said something outrageous the other Democrat candidates denounced him, and by implication Jackson -- but very tenderly because they also wanted the votes of Jackson's constituency, and the Republicans had a free-for-all telling white folks generally, and Jews especially, "If ANY Democrat wins the election, he'll surely appoint Jackson to some important post - maybe at the State Dept in charge of the Middle East!" The money sneaked this way into the Jackson campaign thereby bought Reagan far better results than if it had been spent merely advertising Reagan. Once the 1984 election was over, Farrakhan never again got to handle large sums of campaign money, not for Jackson in 1988 or 1992, not for Obama in 2008, so this one time, in 1984, was clearly the Republicans' doing.
